    I thought about hiring a driver but if something goes wrong with the truck I would rather be there to address it than risk someone driving it to destruction.

    I am basically ignorant of the difference between a farm exemption and regular interstate trucking. This is what I would consider doing if I were in the OPs shoes. First, before I left to get the tractor I would get all my legal's for it if possible. Then spend a few minutes on the phone with the state agencies that control commercial motor vehicles to make sure I am in compliance while en route. Then go buy a logbook and while transporting go by 395! There was a suggestion made about using a drive-a-way service. Might make sense to do so and you might be able to deduct the cost as a business expense.

    Do you have an actual farm plate or will it be commercially/apportioned registered? Farm plate you do not need anything else, not even a cdl, if you are plating it you’ll need the temp permits and a log etc

    I will be running on a indiana temp. I have a Wa. Cdl. Can you tell me more about temp permits? I figure I can keep a paper log. I am getting to old for more than ten hours a day.

    insurance and registration (temp Indiana) and go. Farm, I believe, is just good around your farm, not 5 states away. The port-of-entries will educate you and lighten your wallet if necessary.

    It's a typo, and I don't know how to edit. I was wondering how long until someone caught it.

    Thanks for the reply. We can drive within 150 air miles of the farm for farm purpose and have very few restrictions. The only state line I have ever crossed in a commercial vehicle is Idaho and Washington has a reciprocal farm agreement with them. I guess this is what I get for internet shopping trucks.
